Ready To Die, the new Iggy and The Stooges album is to be released April 30 on Fat Possum Records. Iggy Pop, guitarist James Williamson, and drummer Scott "Rock Action" Asheton all united for Ready To Die. This is their first full album collaboration of all new material since The Weirdness in 2007.

NME reports that Ed Cherney describes this new album as "It's old-time Stooges. It's raw. They're great songs, but not necessarily big choruses. They're the Antichrist of anthems."

On Iggy and The Stooges' site, Iggy Pop recently commented, "My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal. It's just a pig-headed fucking thing I have that a real fucking group when they're an older group they also make fucking records. They don't just go and twiddle around on stage to make a bunch of fucking money..."
